Car Rental Tips for the Philippines
International Driver's License
Foreigners need an International Driving Permit (IDP) plus their home country license. Valid for 90 days in the Philippines.
Always Get Insurance
Basic TPL is included by law. Comprehensive coverage is strongly recommended — accidents are common in Metro Manila traffic.
Consider a Driver
Hiring a driver (₱800–₱1,500/day) is often worth it. Manila traffic is complex and parking is difficult in BGC and Makati.
Fuel Policy
Most rentals are 'full-to-full' — you receive a full tank and return it full. Check the policy before signing.
Book in Advance
During peak season (December, Holy Week, summer) rental cars sell out fast. Book at least 2 weeks ahead.
Negotiate for Long-term
For rentals over 7 days, always negotiate. Most agencies offer 15–25% discounts for weekly or monthly bookings.
